SNIPPED It appears to me that you may be confusing "balance" with "matching". Those words have very different definitions. A balanced 50 ohm antenna fed with coax and having an SWR of 1:1 is matched but unbalanced and is likely to radiate from the feedline. A balanced 50 ohm antenna fed with 600 ohm balanced line and having an SWR of 12:1 is unmatched but balanced and is not likely to radiate much from the feedline. Yep!! Love that high VSWR! Tuned feeders for 50+ years and they still work fine. |

"--it`s Fractenna come back to haunt us." Wes is very funny. Happy Halloween! Dr. Cohen knows the difference between balance and matching, so I don`t think it`s him. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
